The research focuses on whole life cycle design, climate-responsive buildings, low-carbon and circular renovation, and the role of in-between spaces such as balconies, loggias, winter gardens, atria, and transitional outdoor areas. The postdoc will develop a decision-support framework integrating environmental, circularity, economic, social, and resilience indicators, and will help create methods and digital tools for evidence-based design and planning from the earliest project stages.
The position is based in the Architectural Facades and Products research group within the Building Design & Technology section of the Architectural Engineering and Technology department, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft. The work will involve collaboration with architects, engineers, municipalities, and industry partners, and validation through demonstrators in different European countries.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in architecture, building technology, building engineering, façade engineering, or a related field; experience or strong interest in sustainability standards, LCA, circular economy, research acquisition, and project management; strong analytical and communication skills; and the ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams.
